The Wizard says: "You can send information concerning your system's configuration files." You can choose Yes or No, and no default choice is made for you. You must decide. If you choose yes, your config.sys, autoexec.bat, system.ini, and win.ini are sent. The wizard then says: "Do you wish to send information concerning applications installed on your computer?" Again, you have to make the choice. If you choose yes, a directory tree is sent. Even if you choose 'No' in response to both questions, the Wizard will complete the registration and not send that information. Note that the directory tree is included in the second question. So, one is forced to wonder: Why are you making these claims when you obviously haven't researched them? Beyond that: Why don't people remove this thread from bugtraq? Heath P.S. The questions quoted above are from memory only, and are not verbatim wordings.
